Today, I’d like to talk about manifold plumbing to radiators. For many years in the UK, we’ve traditionally used branch plumbing to plumb radiators, which is when there’s a series of fittings usually buried in the floor, elbows, tpieces, and couplers. And these have potential leak paths, and you're joining the pipe together to go from A to B.

If you’re familiar with underfloor heating, manifold plumbing to radiators is a very similar concept. However, instead of taking pipework to loops of pipe buried in the floor, we take individual loops to individual radiators. This means you’ll end up with a central collection point for your pipes which distributes from the manifold to each individual radiator.

One of the biggest benefits of radiator plumbing through this radiator manifold system is that instead of having a traditional TRV to control your ambient air temperature, you can control it from a thermostat that’s positioned away from the heat source.

That means far better comfort levels and controls for the radiator system. For this reason, I would highly recommend manifold plumbing and using a radiator manifold instead of branch plumbing.
